Grants, Awards, and Travel Funds

Student Travel Award

SPR has allocated funds for 30 travel awards. Fifteen of these are specifically reserved for award winners within North America, who will receive $500 USD to assist with their travel accommodations while attending the SPR Annual Meeting. The other 15 awards are reserved for non-North American members who will receive $1000 USD. To be eligible, student members must:

  1. reside outside a 500 mile radius from the annual meeting
  2. be the first author on a poster or paper accepted for presentation at the annual meeting
  3. be up to date with dues, or have applied for new membership status
  4. still have pre-doctoral status (i.e. must not have received their PhD by the time of the meeting)
    In addition, student members with travel funds available from the laboratory in which they work are not eligible.

When submitting presentations for the conference, students should apply for the Student Travel Award. A lottery among these student members will be conducted, and eligibility verified with advisors. See previous recipients below.
